    2018 Pathfinder S

    Absolutely. Yeah. I wouldn't buy one, even for just a regular on-road car.

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    I was out around the Gila last weekend. The water is really low, so I see how someone may be tempted to cross it. The mud on the other hand ...

    Please recommend Powertank / CO2 fill service - PHX AZ

    I priced out the the individual parts vs the Powertank package, and did not find significant savings. Perhaps I did not find the best vendors, and maybe could have found less expensive options. At any rate, I did opt for the convenience of a complete package. 10lbs will easily last me 2-3...

    Land anchor

    I just received my Deadman order, and am pleased. This appears to be a high quality -heavy duty item.

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    Really interesting thread. I too do estimation, but for a completely different industry. Anyhow the calculation are similar. A fixed/firm price project includes minimum ROI and risk calculations. Otherwise, it is just bad business.

    MAXTRAX - Show us your pics!

    I carry mine in my Jeep as part of my tool kit. I lash them to a cargo net separating the rear from the back seat.

    Please recommend Powertank / CO2 fill service - PHX AZ

    Thanks again for this recommendation. I went to Sierra Expeditions today. Nice facility. Will was very helpful. Took all of ten minutes to fill my tank. But, otoh, drooling over the Howling Moon tents is most definitely not good for my pocketbook. :)

    2005 Armored 4wd Excursion Limo only 4k miles

    Well, he obviously didn't want to end up like Abdullah I.

    Harley to get into the adventure bike game

    That is some hard core badassery right there. Much respect to you!!! I, OTOH, would have wimped out. Interesting you mention that you are no longer riding (main) streets. I posted in another thread that I am on a "hiatus". I don't have the desire to ride, but don't want to sell my bike. I know...

    Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

    ^^^^ Good video. Thank you. I had not seen it before.

    Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

    I really am not a partisan here. But, I am curious: did FCA replace those crappy plastic bushing in the JL? I really do hope so. I carry a bunch of them in my tool pouch, but have not yet had to mess with this, thankfully. Perhaps, like all new vehicles, the JL presents a mixed bag of...

    Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

    ^^^^ I had not heard about the battery issue. Interesting in a bad way. This reminds me of a JL question ... Does anyone know if they have stock skid plates like the JK's?

    Garmin inReach SE+ Satellite Communicator at Costco for $289.99 (Aug 2018)

    Not me personally, or more precisely, I have not yet received a bill. Now, five months later, I don't expect to get a bill, but ... one never knows. A couple of things to note: I had a valid backcountry permit, and the lead medic classified our SOS call as a legitimate emergency. Otherwise, I...

    Any longtime riders quit for good?

    I too am another motorcycle rider on "hiatus" of sorts. I have had my endorsement for over 25 years and probably ridden some ~150k miles, including years where I only had a bike. But, now my desire to ride has really subsided. For some time, my beloved FXST has been collecting dust. Like the OP...

    Good point on the fender lights. My fenders are ... um ... a bit worse for wear.
